Build Alerts on File Import in Data Source

[xialins]

Hi, I am using the file import service to enrich the existing Tealium data daily, want to achieve a feature like for the past 24 hours, no data coming will trigger an alert to the team. 

I have went through the relating Tealium document, seems there is no internal service can be enabled. Is there any suggestions on this alerts, or is there any third party tool can be utilized for it?

Any help would be very appreciated!

There is no internal service in Tealium that can be enabled to trigger an alert if no data has been imported for the past 24 hours. However, there are a few third-party tools that can be used for this purpose.

One option is to use a cloud-based monitoring tool such as Datadog or New Relic. These tools can be configured to track the number of rows imported into Tealium each day. If the number of rows drops below a certain threshold, an alert can be triggered.

Another option is to use a custom script. You can write a script that checks the Tealium data import logs for the past 24 hours. If no new rows have been imported, the script can send an email alert to the team.

Here are some specific tools that you can use:

• Datadog: Datadog is a cloud-based monitoring tool that can be used to track a variety of metrics, including the number of rows imported into Tealium. You can configure Datadog to send alerts if the number of rows drops below a certain threshold.
• New Relic: New Relic is another cloud-based monitoring tool that can be used to track the number of rows imported into Tealium. You can configure New Relic to send alerts if the number of rows drops below a certain threshold.
• Custom script: You can write a custom script that checks the Tealium data import logs for the past 24 hours. If no new rows have been imported, the script can send an email alert to the team.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

@xialins We do have an API you can use to query File Import status.  You could use this to build an external monitor.

Having a built-in alerting system would be a good idea and I'd encourage you to log it as such.
